The Staggies won the previous fixture between the sides at Rugby Park 3-0 back in November and will leapfrog Kilmarnock – both teams currently have 41 points after avoiding relegation – into ninth place in the final table with a victory.

Striker Liam Boyce said: “We want to finish as high as possible and everyone will be going out to win the game.

“If you play football, you want to win. There’s a chance to jump over Kilmarnock in the table and we will try to take that chance.

“And there are a lot of players being released, so I think they want to sign off leaving the fans a good memory.”
